Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

I don't oppose trying, that's simply you trying to argue for me.

Stop that.

"Cost" is entirely about whether a thing is worth the effort to do.
"Implementation", I had to presume, was about difficulty of said implementation; the complexity and depth of what needed changing.

Those are both arguments against making an effort.

What you said:

"This usually boils down to "but it might require actual effort and motivation to achieve, and I'm way too lazy to make an effort like that"."

That's not what i said, so feel free to keep trying to make my argument for me.

Interesting ( not really surprised ) that Minnesota is in play for this election...https://emersonpolling.reportablenew...s-senate-races

A new Emerson College Poll finds Minnesota is competitive again in 2020, with 50% of voters planning on supporting former VP Joe Biden and 47% intending to vote for President Trump. While the race is close, only 3% of voters remain undecided. Of voters who plan to vote by mail, 91% plan to vote for Biden, and of those who plan to vote in person, 68% plan to vote for Trump.

I realize it is one poll and the best is to consider the average of several polls. But 3% is within the margin of error.

Fox News had Biden up by double digits. It's amazing that you chose the poll you did...

Question, do I have enough popcorn for tonight?
Question, will left twitter have enough salt?

“The news I think will be electrifying when it comes out,” says LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, a co-chair of Joe Biden’s VP selection committee, on Biden’s VP choice.

“People will know that Joe will make his own decisions."

CNN is reporting that Biden's VP announcement is imminent, sounds like it could be within the next few hours. He's currently in the process of making phone calls to the women he did not pick. CNN was able to confirm Karen Bass is one of those he did not pick.

A calculated, if somewhat bland VP pick.

Good enough for me at any rate. A skilled prosecutor is a much better than the current soft spoken wet rag in vaguely human shape that is Pence.

[Benggaul]

Meh. Not the choice I would have wanted given that her being from California and has a past that is being used against her to some effect, but I can live with it.

[Endus]

vp is kamala harris

Commence the GOP hate-brigading. They've largely held off to avoid wasting effort on targets who don't end up getting the nod, but now that she's been announced, they'll start spinning up the barrels on the bullshit-minigun.

Well, Biden isn't the choice I would have wanted either, but between trump/pence and biden/harris, it's still an easy choice to make.

Bland.... dont be surprised if karma squirts some hot curry on you.

Good choice, but not the best - but no one better on his short list. She'll be great though on the campaign trail (such as it is) and will eviscerate Pence if they dare to have a VP debate..

Biden wasn't in my top five, but I'd vote for a novelty paper weight against Trump.

[Dystemper]

Harris was a really bad choice .

Agreed - but that was always going to happen, regardless of the Dipshit-in-Chief current occupying the White House.

Long game thought here - if Biden wins, what if the plan is for him to not only go one term, but actually resign beforehand - giving the top spot to a woman, and letting her campaign as the incumbent.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Yep. It pretty much is. Sorry, Corntrollio, I'm not following you any further down this rabbit hole of "lulz".

BOOM. Who's wrong now..?? Kamala is the VP. My favored chosen as well.

[PfeffermintShake]

Commence the folks that were holding out on his VP pick with regards to whether they'd vote for him, as if his pick would have ever really mattered.

Great, it'll be pages of concern trolling from the onlyfans for Tulsi members.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

If she wins I can't wait to drink the racist tears that the first ever female president is of Black descent. Oh how delicious it would be to relive 2008.
